Quiet Tones Rule Paris Street Wear in Turbulent Times
Fashion notes describe a conservative shift in women’s attire with dark tones, simple lines, and practical street costumes. Navy blue, black, and gray dominate while capes return in nursing and war-worker styles. Braided decoration and redingotes appear with satin or silk underlayers as women favor understated elegance and harmony in accessories and hats.
